  1. It would be nice to see what flashcards you have gotten right and which ones you have trouble with. Also being able to choose the specific notecards you want to study once you make a set. I love the flashcards on goodnotes but there is lots more that can be done.

  4. I've found that when I have Goodnotes open on my Mac and iPad, the syncing is very slow - I like to add pictures on my computer and then write notes on my iPad; however, it can take up to 30 minutes for the pictures I paste from my computer to show up in the iPad version of the app... would it be possible to add a button/feature for us to sync in real-time for the specific documents we're working on?

  5. Having a hexagonal would make chemistry note taking so much easier. Especially in higher level chemistry since there are so many different compounds you have to learn.

  6. I liked the sticky note, but there should be system of pop up like sticky note because in most of the pdf documents , there is no space to write anything. If pop up like sticky note will available there then it will more convenient to take short note.

  8. I hope that I can directly select multiple pages and rearrange their order in the thumbnails like what I can do in Notability.

    I know that I can copy and paste page to rearrange the page order. But it's not convenient.

    I'd appreciate it if you could add this feature.

  9. I like to have my notes very densely packed, so I typically use the finest thickness pen and zoom in nearly all the way.

    However, when zoomed in, the lasso tool thickness (the blue dotted lines) becomes extremely thick and selecting small items is difficult.

    Suggestion: When zoomed in, make the lasso line width thinner.

  10. I write exercises for my music students. When synchronising, I would like to have an option, that students can ‘ read only’ instead of ‘read and write’ . Just like many iCloud services work.
    And how do I change the name of a folder? Can’t figure it out.
    Great App! Thank you!

  11. A template with an automatic numbering system. The template would have a positionable "page number" feature, with the option to have the total page count as well. I wouldn't have to manually add "1 of 6", "2 of 6" to my pages, then change them all if I add a 7th page.

  14. Get rid of the “Save as default” in font styling and just have the font set automatically to the font when it’s adjusted. Just like how when you work in word document, google docs, when you set the font, it stays at that font every time you work. I constantly have to change fonts and reclick the “Save as default” Font, and it’s really annoying because it doesn’t appear in split screen. Why not just get rid of it entirely and save the font once it’s set, as it’s much more intuitive.

    In Notability, they have the Font Adjuster appearing…

  15. I recently switched all my notes and flashcards over to GoodNotes because I loved the flash card feature so much. Most flashcards apps randomize the cards which I personally don’t like because the order of the cards can be very important. Now that you have introduced randomization it has severely impacted my ability to use the flashcards (which I just made hundreds of). Please allow users to turn randomization on or off based on their own preferences. Thank you!

  16. Similar items have been suggested but only after selecting them which is cumbersome. Would love an option to recolor text by using a variant to the highlighter. Just like dragging a highlighter over text would highlight it, the recolor highlighter would instead recolor the text you've drawn a line over to the color selected. Think of it like putting a strike through a sentence, but instead of the line strike, the result would be changing the color of that underlying text from black to red for example. Much better UX than trying to draw a select around text.

  17. These gestures are used in the app Procreate and they are very convenient. They make the workflow feel much faster and more fluid. Also, they have become standard gestures for performing the undo & redo functions in many apps.
